Maru & Moro 1/8 PVC by Art Storm|Lilics
Posted by Persocom on Jun 30, 2009 in Figures | 14 comments
Maru & Moro, or Maru-dashi and Moro-dashi, who’s names both literally mean “exposing oneself in public”, the two servants to Yuuko in the manga/anime xxxHolic arrived here in PVC form yesterday. Don’t get the wrong idea though, they are far from exhibitionists. I ordered them from Hobby Search, for 6,153 Yen. They come together of course, and they are still available at the time of writing this post. This makes my second figure from Art Storm/Lilics. If you are interested you can order them here. Read on for the full review and a plethora of pictures. Read More
End of February Haul

I originally planned on posting this earlier, but things have been busy lately. Had some problems that needed taken care of and never got around to this. I picked up 5 volumes of xxxHolic manga last week from Barnes and Noble, and decided to finally get myself a membership since I plan to buy a lot more from there. Now, I’m up to date on the English xxxHolic releases so far. Been eying up quite a few manga series lately.
Also a couple days ago my Riiana picked up an issue of OtakuUSA for me, it’s pretty decent. It has a fold out Gurren Lagann poster in it. Also picked up Chocobo Tales and My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS. I know I’m already using iKnow for learning Japanese but I figure every little thing I can do to strengthen my knowledge will be useful. I’m waiting on Nendoroid Yoko to arrive by early next week as well. I apologize for such a short post after a long wait but there will be plenty more soon. Read More
Maru and Moro 1/8 PVC from xxxHolic by Lilics
Posted by Persocom on Jan 21, 2009 in Figures | 3 comments
So, I was just checking out what was new at Hobby Search, and I stumbled across newly available for pre-order Maru & Moro from xxxHolic, that I had previously mentioned a couple posts back in Figure Seeking in 2009. Due out in May for the price of 6,153 Yen. Now you can see better pictures, I thought I’d share the pictures from Hobby Search with you all, since this is going on my pre-order list. As I mentioned before I’m not fond of Lilics, they certainly don’t get rave reviews for figure making, but as this is my first purchase I can’t really say anything negative other than based on what I’ve heard/seen. This will be my first purchase of a Lilics PVC figure, so I’ll be taking the gamble and finding out myself. I can only hope they end up looking like the prototypes. I totally agree with lovelyduckie though, in her comments on the last post about this figure she mentioned wanting a Yuko figure (from xxxHolic) more than anything, Yuko is highly desirable, and it’s rather annoying that they haven’t released a figure of her yet. Maybe this figure here is a sign of more xxxHolic figures to come? One can only hope and wait. /end xxxHolic fanboy rant, you can pre-order the figure here.
Figure Seeking in 2009

It’s already been nearly a week since I’ve posted here, and I apologize for the lack of posting. I didn’t disappear to an MMORPG or get run over by a reindeer, not just yet at least (not that I’m planning to in the first place). Anyways, we’re getting a bit behind on the posting and have a nice long backlog of posts to do. I’ve just been notified that Kyouka Miderizaki Nendoroid and Figma Hayate Yagami are being prepared for shipping. They’ll be the first arrivals of 2009. Yes, this year is starting off slow. That’s mostly because of Christmas, after all we have a son, and Christmas is for him more than us. I’ve been taken back down nostalgia lane playing old NES games with him. My first gaming system has become his first gaming system, only his is one of those newer ones with tons of games on it. There’s only one figure so far this year that I don’t know any information about that I absolutely must obtain.
